Back home in New Orleans are them Hornets this evening, following their mighty 1-1 East coast adventure. The Atlanta Hawks will be the opponent, but it matters not. We will crush them with equal parts kung fu and superior dribbling skills.

The Atlanta Hawks, and Chris Andersen

Not sure if David West is a go for this one. That ankle tweak he suffered in New York on Monday kept him out of yesterday's practice. Now might be a good time to rest him and give Chris Andersen his reintroduction, because the schedule turns tough again real soon.

Gotta run. Feel free to chat this one up in the comments.

[UPDATE]Wow.  Julian Wright has his best game yet and the Hawks forget you can shoot from the 3-point line.  Hornets win without West. 116-101
